How I Put Two Big Bales In One Feeder

How I Put Two Big Bales In One Feeder HAY & FORAGE HARVESTING Bale Handling (5) 18-2-12 A Kansas cattleman, who wanted to feed cattle less often without buying more round bale feeders, says he discovered a simple way to put two big bales in one bale feeder. "I started out by stacking one bale on top of another but too often the top bale would roll off," says Roger Kuntz of Grainfield. "That's when I got the idea for a bumper bar that mounts to one side of the feeder, fastened to the top rails. By placing the bottom bale off center and the upper bale to the opposite side, the top bale rests against the bumper bar. As cattle eat, the upper bale slides down into the feeder gradually. You get twice the use out of one feeding. 'This idea has saved me time and money. I used steel pipe to make the bumper bar."
